Ideal Leaf Tobacco Co.
is Buying Good 609 Tobacco.
Ideal Leaf is processing this tobacco
because we believe you can make a good
profit on a small investment. Any farmer or
investor that wants to put some money in this
project please give us a call,
The local farmers in Lancaster can join in
this project by delivering 609 tobacco for
processing to Ideal Leaf Tobacco Co. We
believe the local farmer has two choices: to
sell the 1999 crop or to process it.
There is no guaranteed price on the
processed tobacco return, but at least we
have a chance of getting a better return. We
are now making a list of the farmers who are
going to process with Ideal Leaf because we
are receiving processed tobacco and setting
delivery dates for others. We will receive
processed tobacco Until April 7,2000.
